Alicia, if you just want something which formats your screenplay automatically then check out Celtx desktop which is free. The produced pdf's look identical to those created by Final Draft. https://www.celtx.com/desktop.html A lot of people are saying good things about Writer Duet too, which is also free. https://www.writerduet.com
I've used FadeIn Pro for a couple of years now and to me it seems almost invisible as I write.Once you "master" the six or seven Ctrl+ commands, it is as simple as breathing. Format is perfect & it exports in many formats, including FD. Only downside I've found is that the Android versionon my tablet is not as intuitive. ?Cost me around £40 if I remember correctly.
Here's the FD website: https://www.finaldraft.com/ The current educational discount for students & teachers brings the price to about $130 (though only $20 less than standard price).
That is sad that I missed the deal. That $199 price is above what I can pay right now. I'll continue to search. Thanks for the information!
Although I think I might be able to get that student discount!
This is why I must have Final Draft: "Puts your words into screenplay format as you type"

I can get you an unopened version of the latest Final Cut for $150.
Thanks for the offer Josh. I believe I can at least get it as low as $129 (student discount). I'll let you know.

Thank you CJ. I didn't like Celtx so much. I will try Writer Duet though. Thank you for the suggestion!
Thanks Joshua! I'll look into WriterDuet and FadeIn.
Joshua, can you download your script with WriterDuet for free?

I'm using Celtx, its free, but if you find a good discount I'm looking for a copy also.
I'll let you know Anthony
Yes, Joshua, you're right. Thanks.
